My Life, My Story takes as its goal one simple idea; letting people living with HIV tell their own story.
Moon shares her story on the importance of having accurate information on HIV. Initially told that she only had until the end of the year to live, it wasn't until she found a second medical opinion that she discovered about HIV treatment. Once on treatment she found the strength to take control of her life and start educating others to reduce stigma in the Malaysian community.
The stories collected here in the My Life, My Story project are but a small portion of the stories of the over 80,000 people living with HIV in Malaysia and they reflect some of the diversity of those affected. We hope by spreading their stories that we can begin to foster understanding around the realities what it means to be HIV positive. Too often people living with HIV in Malaysia face ongoing stigma and discrimination, often based on misunderstandings, prejudice or stereotypes. My Life, My Story allows people to see the faces and stories of those affected by HIV and to showcase that HIV doesn't discriminate, so why should we?
Through sharing these videos you can be part of the change that we seek to see in Malaysia - changing the hearts and minds of Malaysians to foster understanding and compassion for people living with HIV. So share these videos with those you know and love, and contribute to the conversation to make Malaysia a better place for people living with HIV.
